Iran on Monday pushed back against U.S. President Donald Trump's claims of having had "very good and productive conversations" with Iran, focused on ending the war.
President Trump announced Monday morning he had pushed back a self-imposed deadline for Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz or face attacks on energy infrastructure within the country.
The president suggested that significant negotiations with Iranian officials had taken place, and he imposed a new deadline of this Friday.
At a roundtable in Tennessee, the president suggested that an end to the conflict could come as soon as this week.
"My whole life has been a negotiation. But with Iran, we've been negotiating for a long time. And this time they mean business. And it's only because of the great job that our military did is the reason they mean business. They want to settle it," President Trump said. "We'll see what happens. I think it's a very good chance we're going to end up in a deal. So we're giving it five days and then we're going to see where that takes us."
